Ribb-it!

My blog about how I try knitting without too many trips to the frog pond. An occasional sewing project might find it´s way in here also!

End of the year update

At the beginning of the year I set up a few goals I wanted to achieve throughout the year. And what can I say, I made it!!! It was just in time, since I finished the last of my 5 goals on December 31 at 2 AM!!! I knit my first lace project, my first fair isle, cut my first steeks and a lot more.

1. Here I wrote "finish Interlocking Cables", but in the meantime I´ve ripped the damn thing! It was about three times too big!!! Next time I start this I promise to swatch... Yes, you heard right I will swatch!!!!! I still want to finish this thing this year and I will!Only grafting and a good soak left... should be just a matter of days! (ok, I just jinxed it, I bet!)Yeah, I jinxed it. It´s still lying there untouched. In a quiet moment, I´ll see to getting it done.Still lying untouched! This one will probably be done just barely in time!
And it was almost a photo finish at 2 AM on December 31st. It´s drying now and I hope to wear it tonight.

Finished!!!

2. Knit Starsky ( I don´t have yarn for this yet, but more about this later)

Finished!!!

3. Knit at least 6 pairs of socks
Finished!!!!!

4. Knit one big lace project (this is my Indigo Spring which can be seen on ravelry, username: ribbit)
Picked it up, but I can´t find my beads. I´ll be looking for them shortly!
Found´em and finished!!!

5. Knit one fair isle project with steeks. This will be Eunny Jangs Deep V-necked Argyle Vest.
